Commemorations & Celebrations of Green | |
While the world continues to negotiate for peace, we here in the U.S. honor our fallen military personnel this coming Memorial Day, commemorate their sacrifices, and salute them and their families for the ultimate sacrifice.
We at Greenroofs.com would also like to commemorate a dear colleague, Nigel Dunnett, PhD, who passed away peacefully from an extended illness at the end of April. Internationally renowned for his exquisite ecological landscape design and philosophy, Nigel was equally gifted and admired as an author and University of Sheffield Professor of Planting Design and Vegetation Technology in the School of Architecture and Landscape Architecture. Insightful and soft spoken, Nigel will be remembered warmly by those who had the privilege of knowing him.
